Frank CLAIR,
Football
Coach: 1917-2005
Ottawa Rough Riders' coach and general manager did not always
remember his players' names but he knew what it took to win the
Grey Cup
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Tuesday, April
12, 2005, Page S7
Toronto -- He was known as the absent-minded professor whose
players' names sometimes beat him but Frank
CLAIR was an innovative
Canadian Football League institution. Once, when injury forced
a halfback out of an Ottawa Rough Riders' game, coach
CLAIR shouted
frantically for backup Billy Kline to replace him. It was too
late -- he had been traded two years before.
While general manager with the Riders, Mr.
CLAIR signed a player
by the name of Paul Moses and was telexing the move to the Canadian
Football
League's
Toronto offices. Mr.
CLAIR started typing Paul
Abraham and coach George
BRANCATO, who was beside him, noticed
the error and told his boss: "No, it's Paul Moses."
"Oh," Mr. CLAIR answered, "I knew it was some guy from the Bible."
Whenever Montreal Alouettes' star running back George Dixon came
to Ottawa, Mr.
CLAIR referred to him not by name, but by number.
"Gotta watch that No. 28," Mr.
CLAIR would say. If the player
was Calgary Stampeders' linebacker Wayne Harris, it was, "Have
to watch that No. 55." Even after star Ottawa quarterback Russ
JACKSON had won a host of awards, he was still "No. 12" to Mr.
CLAIR.
"On occasion, he would call me Russ but usually he called me
by my number. That was one of his idiosyncrasies. He didn't remember
names," Mr.
JACKSON recalled.
"Frank was so excited he didn't know what was going on in a game,"
said Dave THELEN, a former Rider and Toronto Argonaut fullback.
Mr. CLAIR was a pioneer in the Canadian Football League, introducing
the short-trap play in 1950 and in the same year introducing
films as a key method of assessing plays and personnel. He also
had a habit of turning around moribund teams and winning a host
of Grey Cup titles.
Wouldn't you know it -- in 1950, with the help of that short-trap
play and his game movies, Mr.
CLAIR's
Argos won the Grey Cup.
Two years later, they did it again. Mr.
CLAIR also coached the
Riders to three Grey Cups -- in 1960, 1968 and 1969, and was
general manager when they won again in 1973 and 1976. He was
Canadian Football League coach of the year in 1966 and 1969.
All told, he compiled a won-lost-tied record of 174-125-7 and
his teams finished out of the playoffs only twice in 19 seasons.
Mr. CLAIR was born in small-town Ohio, graduated from Ohio State
University and gained some playing time with the National Football
League's Washington Redskins. Along the way, in the field house
connecting the football and basketball fields at Purdue University,
Mr. CLAIR met his wife
Pat and they married in December of 1948.
Mr. CLAIR was the head coach at the University of Buffalo in
1949 when he was persuaded to go to Toronto and coach the Argonauts.
"Al Dekdebrun, who was a Toronto quarterback and
an All-American
at Cornell, dropped by our training camp in Buffalo and said
I should come to Toronto and coach," Mr.
CLAIR recalled in 1980.
"I had never seen an Argos' game but I was enthused about the
spirit of the football people in Toronto."
Yet, when he looked at film Clips of the Argo games in 1949,
he was appalled. "They had a terrible team, a bad program and
the physical conditioning was bad," Mr.
CLAIR said. "Recruiting
was virtually non-existent. I put more emphasis on films and
got the owners to do films of every game."
The result was the short-trap play. "I think that's what won
the Grey Cup for us in 1950," he once said. "Billy Bass was the
fullback and time and time again, the holes would open. It was
something the other teams hadn't seen."
It was a simple play and one he always enjoyed describing. "It
looked like a sweep, with both guards pulling. There was a lot
of quick hitting. One guard would pull to trap the tackle and
our tackle would block their linebacker, clearing a hole in the
line."
Mr. CLAIR left Toronto after the 1954 season and worked for a
spell at the University of Cincinnati only to be lured back to
the Canadian Football League to take over the head-coaching duties
in Ottawa in 1956. "Ottawa had a terrible team in 1955 -- terribly
disorganized," he once said. "I told the Ottawa directors that
it would take five years to build a championship team. And it
was five years, right on the nose, in 1960 when we won the Grey
Cup."
Over the years, Mr.
CLAIR witnessed scores of talented Canadian
Football League players such as Dave
THELEN, Ron
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, Vic
WASHINGTON, Bo
SCOTT, Margene
ADKINS, Whit
TUCKER, Moe
RACINE,
Mike NELMS and Tony
GABRIEL, but Russ
JACKSON stood out as the
"best ever."
"When he [
JACKSON] moved up behind the centre, he took command,"
Mr. CLAIR said. "He had a good voice... he made you think he
was an army sergeant. We felt like we were going somewhere with
him."
Mr. JACKSON and many others contend that one of the best offences
ever assembled in Canadian Football League history was the late-1960s
combo in Ottawa consisting of himself, Whit
TUCKER,
Mr.
ADKINS,
Mr. WASHINGTON and Mr.
SCOTT.
"I spent some 12 seasons in Ottawa, all with Frank," Mr.
JACKSON
said. "The biggest memory I have of my time there was that he
gave me a chance to play as a Canadian. He was very innovative
in his offensive preparation when we practised Monday through
Friday for a game on the weekend. We used the short-trap play
in games some, but we also had the option play... in those days,
I liked to run a lot."
Mr. CLAIR, a genius at snagging import talent, pulled off one
of the greatest coups in the Canadian game by persuading two
top-flight U.S. quarterbacks -- Condredge
HOLLOWAY and Tom
CLEMENTS
to sign with the Riders on April 23, 1975. It was coincidence
that they signed on the same day. Mr.
CLAIR signed Mr.
CLEMENTS
in Pittsburgh and Mr.
BRANCATO signed Mr.
HOLLOWAY in Knoxville,
Tennessee.
Frank CLAIR's run with the Riders lasted 25 years, a tenure that
had its tenuous moments of rough waters, especially in the last
two years when ownership wanted him out as general manager.
In 1978, in one of the stormiest controversies in Canadian Football
League history, Mr.
CLAIR was replaced as general manager by
Jake DUNLAP. To compensate, he was offered a job as vice-president
and director of player personnel with a $10,000 pay increase.
Even so, Mr.
CLAIR saw it as a demotion and quit. All he could
understand was that he was losing his general manager's job and
he wasn't being told why. Football fans were on Mr.
CLAIR's side
throughout the drama and club owner Alan
WATERS and executive
vice-president Terry
KIELTY were seen as villains. The Rough
Riders initiated new talks and Mr.
CLAIR wound up with about
$50,000 a season and the job the club had offered in the first
place.
However, it was not the end of the affair. Several weeks before
Christmas in 1980, the Riders said they wouldn't be renewing
his contract. "I was disappointed, but I signed," Mr.
CLAIR said
at the time. "All I wanted to do was help the club."
All the same, he did not rule out the possibility that he would
move to another Canadian Football League club. Indeed, he returned
to the Argos in 1981 as a scout, tapping Canadian and U.S. college
talent for seven years before heart surgery meant he finally
had to pack in his football career.
Ottawa remained dear to the
CLAIRs and for a time they kept their
home in the Billings Bridge area and spent winters in Florida.
In 1993, they moved permanently to Sarasota, Florida
That same year, Ottawa named the arena at Lansdowne Park arena
the Frank Clair Stadium. Sadly, it hasn't done a thing for the
city's football prospects. Ottawa hasn't come close to a Grey
Cup since 1976 when Mr.
CLAIR led his squad to a 23-20 victory
over Saskatchewan.
Frank CLAIR was born May 12, 1917 in Hamilton, Ohio. He died
March 27, 2005, in Sarasota, Florida, of congestive heart failure.
He is survived by his wife and by a daughter.

James Wade
MacLAREN
By Isobel HEATHCOTE with Jim's sons, Friday, November 18, 2005,
Page A20
Water resources engineer, mentor, environmental crusader. Born
October 18, 1921, in Toronto. Died June 13 in Sarnia, Ontario,
of natural causes, aged 83.
Canada's water resources community lost its conscience when Jim
MacLAREN died. Shrewd, short with fools, yet deeply generous
to Friends and colleagues, Jim worked for more than 60 years
to safeguard Canada's water.
Jim studied engineering at the University of Toronto and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was eager to join the
war effort, but his father, a decorated veteran, persuaded him
that the forces needed educated men, too, so he stuck to his
studies for a time before at last enlisting in the army. However,
a few months later Jim was injured in a motorcycle accident in
an officer training exercise at Camp Borden, Ontario Bungled
surgeries led to more than 18 months in army hospitals. Jim missed
the war entirely, and emerged permanently lame.
In 1946, Jim met Jessie Marie
SIMPSON, a Toronto nursing student.
In Jim's words, it was the "greatest event of my life." They
married two years later.
In 1950, Jim and his father, the distinguished engineer James
Ferris MacLAREN, established James F. Maclaren and Associates,
an engineering firm specializing in the design of water and wastewater
treatment facilities. Jim became president of the company when
his father died in 1962, and continued in that role until September,
1980, when the company was bought by Lavalin Inc.
Once Jim left private practice, he had a series of senior advisory
roles, including membership on the Inquiry into Federal Water
Policy, chairmanship of the Ontario Clean Water Agency, and adviser
to the Walkerton Inquiry looking into tainted water in that Ontario
community. Jim became one of Canada's most visionary environmental
thinkers. Colleagues at the Canadian Environmental Law Association
recall the "great debate" Canadian Environmental Law Association
hosted at Toronto City Hall in the mid-1980s. Jim faced off against
Tom KIERANS, the promoter of the Great Recycling and Northern
Development Canal proposal to dam up James Bay, turn saltwater
to fresh, and ship it south. Knowing where you stood with Jim
involved a few certainties: don't laugh at your own jokes; don't
waste water; take your licks as you deserve them; serve your
client, your community, your country, your world, and do so honestly.
Jim's work was recognized through many awards, including those
from the University of Toronto Engineering Alumni Association
(1979), the Engineering Institute of Canada (1984), and an honorary
degree from the University of Guelph (1995).
Behind his sometimes forbidding exterior lay a kind and generous
heart. A mentor to countless young engineers and scientists --
and not a few cabinet ministers -- Jim had a rare talent for
understanding not only the technical issues, but also the complex
political, economic, and human factors underlying them.
Close to Jim's heart always was his family: his beloved Jessie,
their four sons, Jim, Ian, Andy, and Tom, their daughters-in-law
and ten grandchildren. In 1997, he and Jessie moved to Sarnia,
Ontario, a summer haunt for him as a boy and home to Andy and
his family.
Jim's impact on Canadian water resources management continues
through the work of engineers, scientists, and policy-makers
across Canada on drinking water protection, water conservation,
and full-cost pricing of water and sewerage services.
Isobel is Jim's friend and colleague.
